The Moral Geography of White Public Opinion on Restrictive Immigration Policy Dissertation Race, Space, and Nation: The Moral Geography of White Public Opinion on Restrictive Immigration Policy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yalidy Mercedes Matos, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Kathleen McGraw, Advisor Ismail K. White Reanne Frank Copyright by Yalidy Mercedes Matos 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the determinants, both internal- and external factors, of attitudes towards restrictive immigration policies. I frame my examination and discussion of this research within a larger argument about immigration as a series of racial projects that have and continue to contribute to the imaginaries of American-ness. Essential to these racial projects are both internal and external factors, of which I focus on individual- level predispositions as internal factors, and the media and geographic context as the external factors. First, at the individual level, I explore the ways in which five predispositions— racial resentment, authoritarianism, moral traditionalism, anti- egalitarianism, and social dominance orientation—affect individuals’ attitudes towards immigration policies, and I argue that underlying these predispositions are conceptions of American national identity. Second, the media works as an external factor to frame the issue of immigration in ways that are not only predominately negative and conflate illegality with Latinos and immigrants alike, but also in ways that engage the aforementioned predispositions further emphasizing the link between immigration and the definition of what it means to be “American.” Finally, geographic context is key to understanding attitudes towards restrictive immigration policies. Geographic context is associated with both varying levels of individual’s predispositions and the framing of immigration in the media. Moreover, territory and borders (as part of geographic ii contexts) are intricate concepts vis-à-vis the birth of American nationalism. Borders delineate us from them. Accordingly, geographic contexts are interlaced with sociopolitical historical legacies. Environments—whether a neighborhood, state or a region—have a specific history that is embedded within the psyche of that environment in ways that affect contemporary immigration rhetoric and discourse. I put forward a novel theoretical framework that furthers our understanding of immigration politics, and that has wide applicability beyond the immigration context. iii Para mi mamá y papá, por ser lo suficiente valiente de soñar más grande para sus hijos To all immigrant families, who dare to dream big iv Acknowledgments I would not have been able to successfully complete graduate school or this dissertation without the help of many along the way.

They left behind mobile homes, sold fully furnished for a thousand dollars or even less. Or they just closed up and, in a gesture of optimism, left the keys with a neighbor. Dogs were fed one last time; if no home could be found, they were simply unleashed. Two, [five], [ten] years of living here, and then gone in a matter of days, to Tennessee, Illinois, Oregon, Florida, Arkansas, Mexico—who knows? Anywhere but Alabama.1 This mass exodus from Albertville, Alabama was not the result of a natural disaster or fears of an invasion by hostile forces.

  • The Anti-Immigrant Game
    Op-Ed The anti-immigrant game Laws such as Arizona's SB 1070 are not natural responses to undue hardship but are products of partisan politics. Opponents of SB 1070 raise their fists after unfurling an enormous banner from the beam of a 30-story high construction crane in downtown Phoenix, Arizona in 2010. If upheld, Arizona's SB 1070 would require local police in most circumstances to determine the immigration status of anyone they stop based only on a reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully in this country. (Los Angeles Times / April 23, 2012) By Pratheepan Gulasekaram and Karthick Ramakrishnan April 24, 2012 The Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday on the constitutionality of Arizona's 2010 immigration enforcement law. If upheld, SB 1070 would require local police in most circumstances to determine the immigration status of anyone they stop based only on a reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully in this country. It would also compel residents to carry their immigration papers at all times and create state immigration crimes distinct from what is covered by federal law. A few other states, such as Alabama and Georgia, and some cities have passed similar laws, and many more may consider such laws if the Supreme Court finds Arizona's law to be constitutional. The primary legal debate in U.S. vs. Arizona will focus on the issue of whether a state government can engage in immigration enforcement without the explicit consent of the federal government. The state of Arizona will argue that its measure simply complements federal enforcement, while the federal government will argue that Arizona's law undermines national authority and that immigration enforcement is an exclusively federal responsibility.

In particular lawmakers, politicians, interest groups, and civil rights activists have been vocal in voicing their concerns. It is estimated that there are currently ten to eleven million undocumented immigrants in the United States (Immigration Policy Center, 2010). Immigration issues arise from concerns regarding the insufficient number of visas that are available to bring both high and less skilled workers into the country legally to meet the changing needs of the country’s economy and labor market, separation of family members, wage and workplace violations, and lack of an efficient government infrastructure that delays the integration of immigrants who seek to become citizens (Immigration Policy Center, 2010).

    THE IMPACT OF LEGISLATION HOUSE BILL 56 ON IMMIGRATION LAWS AND CONSTRUCTION IN ALABAMA A Thesis by JOSE GARCIA Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, David Bilbo Committee Members, Cecilia Giusti Edelmiro Escamilla Head of Department, Joe Horlen August 2013 Major Subject: Construction Management Copyright 2013 Jose Garcia ABSTRACT Historically the United States has welcomed immigration from all over the world; from Ellis Island to the Statue of Liberty, whose iconic “Mother of Exiles” is considered a symbol of hope to generations upon generations of immigrants. In the last few years there has been an increase in hostility towards immigration but more precisely towards unauthorized immigration. This has caused several states to enact anti- unauthorized immigration measures. States such as South Carolina, Utah, Alabama, have all followed Arizona, which was the first state to enact such a laws. Unauthorized immigrants typically vacate three labor areas, construction, food service, and agriculture. The following thesis tries to detail House Bill 56, which is Alabama’s anti-unauthorized immigration bill, and its impact on the construction industry in Alabama. House Bill 56 was passed by the Alabama House of Representatives, the following research shows that it has negatively affected the construction industry in Alabama. Alabama has three major indexes that detail the overall “health” of the construction industry. They are employment rates, Construction GDP, and Construction Spending. Since the passage of HB 56, all three construction indexes in Alabama have encountered significant negative changes.
